So you haven't used Google Desktop Search is what you're saying?
The only part of the program that even has a GUI is the installer. Everything else is done through web browser integration. But I'm sure Qt and Java can integrate with IE, Firefox and Safari, right? Oh, and the application runs as a system tray application on Windows and probably a menulet on MacOS... Qt supports both of those, right? In a single project?
Before you go around giving advice to Google, maybe you should expend a little effort to figure out what their product IS.
Not to mention the most basic flaw in reasoning: The XBox really isn't designed for kids. (Evident by the large controller at release, which was definately adult-sized, and the selection of games.)

You don't fucking get it. I don't have to defend my decision to you. I don't give a shit whether you think Bush will keep us safer at all. DO YOU COMPREHEND WHAT I JUST SAID!?
Holy shit. When you ask someone's opinion, you don't do it just so you can throw shit at them and try to change it. That's rude and that's a pain in the ass. Like I said, it's the same tactic fundamentalist religious freaks use.
You believe what you want, and let ME believe what I want. And your moronic replies are only cementing my opinion on politics.

So you disagree. The original question was "why would anyone vote for Bush" and I answered the question.
It's MY opinion, and I'm perfectly in the right for having whatever opinion I want to have, so kindly shut your noise hole. Hell, I didn't even read that reply.
Why the fuck is it that liberals can't just be satisfied "because I feel that way" and have to try to convince you? What a pain in the ass. Almost as bad as those religious assholes who are constantly trying to convert you to whatever. Just shut up and let me have my opinion.

Because I think Bush will do a better job of keeping us safe from terrorists. Period.
There are other reasons, but that's the most important one for me.
Did IBM cease to exist? Is the eSeries in our server room running OS/400 a figment of my imagination? Oh, and those Novell fileservers... I must have made that up, it's impossible that there's any competitor to Microsoft! Our email system is Lotus, another IBM product, go figure.
1) The Linux people say Linux is better because, in general, Linux admins are savvy enough to correctly configure iptables and the such. The thing is that Linux cannot POSSIBLY catch on in more server rooms until there are either a lot more of them (meaning they are less expensive to keep as employees) or Linux becomes easy to administer. "Properly configured iptables" don't just magically appear in your lap when you will them there, somebody has to have the knowledge and do the work. If their workplace cannot afford a savvy Linux admin, they HAVE to go with Windows because it's easier to administer.
2) The Windows people will argue (correctly) that any Windows admin with any level of competency would know how to correctly configure the firewall so that it didn't bring the system to a halt, or how to configure the network so that the firewall was offloaded to another device. And they'd be 100% right. How is it Windows' fault? You could make the same mistake on a Linux box.
So the conclusion is that competent administrators, whether they prefer Linux or Windows, are the people missing from your example.
A B C D are motherboard status lights, they have absolutely nothing to do with the USB ports. If your motherboard has a problem, you can tell what that problem is by looking what combination of lights is turned on... if all lights are green, you're good to go. (Next time you turn your computer on, watch the lights in the back change as it goes through POST.)
Tons of motherboards have these and, as a person who has to support Dell hardware all the time, I'm really glad to see them. Beep-beep-beep-beep! Oh crap, let's see... A is lit, D is lit... that must mean... malfunctioning RAM stick. Swap the RAM, there we go, fixed!
Why would you label USB ports? They're all the same.
Ever heard of a little film named Saving Private Ryan?
I enjoyed xXx (Triple-X), I enjoyed Pitch Black, like you said. Boiler Room is good. A lot of people liked The Fast and the Furious, although I'm not a big fan of it. Didn't he do a voice in The Iron Giant? Surely one of the great animated films of the last 10 years...
Control Panels also have no button in the task bar for some reason. That's been a bug in Windows for at least as long.
I don't know, maybe it's some kind of bone-headed design decision, but I lose control panel windows more often than any other kind of window because of it.
MechWarrior IV has the most mature gaming environment I've ever been a member of, and it's even better if you're in a clan. People are respectful and helpful, actually communicate with each other, will give you advice to help you along and share their mech designs with you. The average age of some of the clans is well into the mid-30s or older.
This is Slashdot.org, remember? Don't bother wasting your own moderator points, talking up Nintendo on Slashdot is always worth a +5 informative. God forbid you mod up a PS2 or XBox post, though...
But to be fair, look at Microsoft's video game division:
They haven't hyped up the XBox 2 at all... in fact, they've hardly said anything at all about it period. It's supposed to be released sometime next year and nobody even knows if it'll have a HD, dual-core CPUs, how much RAM... anything like that. Sure, there are rumors and gossip, but none of them originate from Microsoft.
Look at HALO 2. The game is obviously recieving a lot of hype, but all of it is centered around features the game already has... features people have seen and used in betas and demos of it. With Fable, they promised the world but didn't show it to anyone, but with HALO they've shown every feature they've hyped. There's no mystery.
From reading the article, what I think is happening is that Toho is making a new Godzilla movie in which the Japanese Godzilla (named "Godzilla) fights the American Godzilla (named "Zilla"). Hopefully, Godzilla will not only kill Zilla in a violent and bloody manner, but somehow manage to defeat Matthew Broderick at the same time.
Of course, I might be wrong. That was one of the least understandable article summaries I've ever read in my life.
Best solution with tabbed browsers is to turn on the IE-style error pages. That way you can instantly tell if a website failed to load by looking at the caption of the tab. Then you can either close it without bothering to look at it, or click to the tab and hit the 'reload' link on the error page.
You can set Firefox/Mozilla to do this, but alas Safari doesn't have that option. (Although I hear the next version of Safari will.)
What is the point of this post? What does it have to do with neuroscience? Are you suggesting that Coke could sell more cans of soda by advertising less?
All the computer makers do this. I think it's a disservice to their customers, but, hey, Dell can sell a PC for $450 if they don't care about how well it runs.
OS X doesn't have scalable font sizes. 1024x768 is a blessing in disguise. But it's not like Windows where, if your fonts are too tiny to read, you can just bump up the font zoom... OS X doesn't have that feature.
I assume that's why they don't have super-high-res screens in them, because they'll just get complaints that you can't read any of the text on the screen. Hell, on my 14" iBook, I already have to turn my minimum font size in web browsers up to 14 before I can read most of them comfortably.
AIM in MacOS X lets you have your IM windows speak the text out-loud. This is a great productivity booster (even with just one monitor) because you can instantly filter out the BS messages like "OK," ":)," or just "...," that you get tons of on a daily basis.

The only product releases since they started that have been:
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP SP2
Both of which have many, many more security features than the last generation of software.
You can't expect all the old Microsoft software to suddenly and magically patch itself to be perfectly secure, can you?
How does "commercial" = "Microsoft?"

But on the plus side, it seems to be standing up to a Slashdotting pretty well, so at least they got quality hosting before putting up that eyesore.
I don't think it has a lot of Mac developers.
It also doesn't use the systemwide spell checker in text fields which is a pity, because if it did I would definately switch from Safari.

Uh. You're joking, right?
First of all, UT2004 was a "high press" anticipated game, and it launced at $40.
Secondly, Warcraft III, another "high press" anticipated game launched at $60.
The price has nothing to do with how much press the game gets.
